**Day 1 : Cuzco > Cachora > Rosalina Beach**
Early today will be met at your hotel in Cuzco and transferred three hours by road to the Cachora district where you begin your trek as you head towards Capuliloq. As you hike, enjoy scenic views of the surrounding mountains and the dramatic Amurimac Canyon, one of the deepest in Peru. Descend the mountain on a steep switchback trail to Cocamasama Pass, before continuing onto your overnight campsite at Rosalina Beach near Parsarela Bridge.

**Day 2 : Rosalina Beach > Choquequirao**
After an early wakeup and breakfast, begin today’s challenging hike. Ascend through sugar plantations to Marampata at 2911 metres, and from here you will witness a series of huge terraces used by Inca and pre-Inca civilizations for agricultural purposes. There is a chance you may see condors, or if extremely fortunate, the rare Andean bear that is endemic to this area. Continue to the site of Choquequirao and stay in a camp situated not far from the ruins.
Distance travelled: 10 km
Maximum elevation: 3300 mm
Minimum elevation: 1560 m

**Day 3 : Choquequirao**
Enjoy an extensive guided tour of these fantastic ruins. It has been more than 100 years since the discoverer of Machu Picchu, explorer Hiram Bingham also discovered the existence of Choquequirao. Extensive archaeological studies over the years have divided the site into 12 sections. These ruins, which are much more extensive than Machu Picchu, are still in the process of being excavated. Because of its remote location, Choquequirao sees very few visitors, and you feel a certain privilege to be able to explore this hidden Inca gem. After exploring the ruins return to your camp for a chance to relax.
